What Is Technorati Thinking ?
I don’t know if you guys ever search for blogs at Technorati or not, but if you do, you have to take their results with a grain of bunker sand.
I just went and looked ( again ) and Travelling Golfer is now #11, but it’s behind a blog with FEWER links, which is their criteria. Might it be bacause I complained a few days ago ( again ) about 4 out of the Top 10 NOT being about golf. Especially uncomforting is that the #1 golf blog is about the Volkswagon car.
C’mon, Tehnorati, you guys are way better than this. get this mess fixed and give me my props !
In the meantime, reast assured that you’re reading one of the Top 10 blogs about golf.

Tell me about it!
I have tried many times to find the actual golf blogs on there and I always thought I was doing something wrong.
In addition to the wrongly tagged blogs, every one of their search results are spam blogs.
Maybe tagging is good, but just like meta keyword tags (which are now mostly ignored) they are easy to misuse and abuse.
Unfortunately, derek, you’re right.
I do believe that they will get it under control someday.
It’s got to be a helluva task, though.
I don’t know if they will get it under control or not. They don’t seem to be making a big effort in that direction. What was the VW’s handicap?
He was a scratch, as I recall.
Good to see you around here Dave !
I was thinking the same thing. We had a blog on Technorati that had many more links (inbound and outbound) that was not reanked as high as others with less content and and less links. I am confused as well.
